MEXICO: PAN loses moral high ground
The president of the right-of-centre opposition Partido Acción Nacional (PAN), Gustavo Madero, accused President Enrique Peña Nieto this week of resorting to media appearances as part of a “strategy to repair his image, which has been severely damaged”. The criticism was eye-catching because if any image is damaged right now it is that of the PAN.
